Somehow a theme park in Kent is a spectacularly depressing thought. Initially thought they were building it near the wreck of the Richard Montgomery, but sadly the wrong part of the estuary. I was well into a theme park built next to a sunk boat with 1,500 tons of UXO on board

No doubt someone's already pointed it out but those are some amazing Thanos jowls on that column topper pic. He was probably purple before they got in there with colour correction too, as well.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Unfortunately, the ice sheet on Greenland has enough mass to pull that the waters around it up, so sea levels will drop all the way to like Edinburgh, and only rise by about a meter around London, despite Greenland having enough ice to raise the average sea level by seven meters. I suspect that means just kinda lovely and expensive, and more vulnerable to storms, not "Cool monument to man's folly/Drowned City of the Goves". Glacial rebound is much slower than the melting of the ice though. Scandinavia is still rebounding from the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago.

I misremembered though, and the equilibrium point is actually closer to London. Of course the opposite effect is in play for Antarctica vis-a-vis everywhere else, so this pushes the equilibrium point northward, all the way to Iceland. Equatorial regions get double-hosed though.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I'm not talking glacial rebound. The actual presence of a large mass of ice on Greenland is distorting the ocean, pulling the water itself up around it. The adjustment happens as fast as water can flow, essentially instantly. Oh wow, I actually remember reading about that now but only with regards to Antarctica.

also the only reason it became news here is because a rich person tried to fight it in court and sold it to the papers as hiring a lawyer for the alpaca, an lawlpaca if you will

Alpaca arrives in uk, repeatedly tests positive for bovine tb. Law says the animal has to be killed, woman hires alpaca its own lawyer and does every trick imaginable to break quarantine and endanger livestock for multiple years. Kier starmer lusts for alpaca blood this whole time. She finally ran out of appeals and has to follow a law she's been flaunting for several years. If she wanted the alpaca to live she could've just... sent it away

We couldve had an incredible high stakes parent trap remake starring David de gea and geronimo, but instead someone crowdfunded a legal and PR team for seven years while pocketing the profits from an unlawfully imported animal hacking bovine tb over everything near it. gently caress that farmer, she doesn't deserve to retail in the luxurious hypoallergenic waterproof wool of the most noble camelid

With all the recent headlines like "McDonald's run out of milkshakes (except in Northern Ireland)" and "Nando's closes restaurants due to chicken shortage (except in Northern Ireland)" I'm kinda glad we were used as a blood sacrifice to the EU.

So all this alpaca stuff started because post mortem testing didn't show the other alpaca's to have bovine TB. Apparently thats pretty flawed as a recent infection wouldn't do the things you're supposed to find or something I don't know anyway now i'm an alpaca truther https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1433025504790130689?s=20

An insane mind posted:You'd have a mind break coming to the Netherlands then. Belfast's long term tourism plans involve hundreds of millions ploughed into developing new attractions on land reclaimed from the sea. The city centre is built on tidal mud flats. Before tide barriers were built decades ago, seasonal high tides would regularly flood the sewer system and spill out onto the streets. Even with those protections in place there have been 5 "near misses" in the last couple of decades where the sea came within cm of overwhelming the defences. Back in the 90s even one such event was considered a 1 in 200-year freak occurrence. A breach would put almost the entire city centre under 1-2m of water.
